Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Open days in Ashley Heath typically finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your staff

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, then roast through the morning.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
